Out of curiosity, I did play the Topix last night (What's Your Poison?) and it was about alcoholic beverages. The game reminded me of Sci-Files.
Sorry, I don't recall any of the questions, but most seemed to be of the form "adding an onion to a screwdriver makes a ..." I do know that Jagermeister was the answer to one of the questions as a drink consumed before (or after) meals.
If I can, I will try to play next week's game on Neptune, but it's by know means a certainty.

Paraphrasing:
A Harvey Wallbanger is a variation of which cocktail?
What gives a Tequila Sunrise its red color?
What traditionally garnishes a Manhattan?
Which of these is a digestif? (That was the Jaegermeister)
What puts the sting in a Stinger?
What kind of alcohol is Jean-Marc XO?
In what city is St. Pauli Girl brewed?
The addition of an onion turns a Martini into what drink?
In addition to tequila, what alcohol is used to make a Margarita?
What liquor bottle's label includes the image of a gold seal with red ribbon?
From what fruit is Slivovitz made?
What was the first Mexican beer to come in a can?
Which is a cocktail made with two fruit juices? (Madras)
What designation is given to tequila that is aged in oak barrels for between two and eleven months?
And one more that I don't remember, but I suspect was pretty simple to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of beverage alcohol.
I aced, through a proxy, all but the St. Pauli question (I was thinking Stuttgart before the answers even came up, but I was confusing St. Pauli with Dinkelacker) and the Jean-Marc XO. I should have called "Vodka," as it sounded French, but the XO threw me, so I meekly suggested "Rum." At that point I was so disheartened at screwing the puppy on the German beer question that I really didn't care any more, leaving my poor cat's paw in a mere 12th place on the board. I feel bad.
